Governor Robert S. Green,

Trenton, New Jersey. 
Dear Sir : 

The Divine hand guided in the discovery of this 
Continent, and Supreme Wisdom sat in council when this Government 
of ours was established. No other form of Government is at all 
comparable with it, and no other is or ought to be as near and dear 
to the hearts of the people, for its humble citizen may aspire to 
become its Chief head. This possibility is calculated to arouse 
every noble impulse and stimulate every element of man's nature to 
its loftiest ambition. Here we are in fact 'the architects of our 
own fortunes", and, by persistent, well directed efforts, may rise 
from low estate to the most exalted position. I heartily approve 
of your plan of keeping vividly before the people the time and cir- 
cumstances of the beginning of this Union of States. 
With great respect, I am, 
Very truiy. 

Your obedient servant, 

^Governor.

Gov. Robert S. Green,

Dear Sir : 

I heartily sympathize with any measure that 
will perpetuate the memory of the wisdom and patriotism of the 
founders of this Republic. The men who risked their lives and 
their fortunes to establish and maintain the American system of 
government are entitled to the gratitude of the sons and daugh- 
ters of this Republic, and their heroic deeds may well be engraven 
on enduring granite. And while Philadelphia has claims, yet my 
own judgment is that the monument should be erected in the City 
of Washington, the place long since designated as the seat of 
government. 

Very respectfully yours, 





Governor.

Dear Governor : 

Every patriotic American will approve of 
the proposition to erect a Grand National Monument commemorative 
of the frauiing and adoption of the Oonstitution of the United 
States. Such monuments are public educators, teaching in silent 
language lessons of loyalty and patriotism to this and every fu- 
ture generation. There can be no doubt of the propriety of mak- 
ing appropriations of public money for such a purpose. 

Yours tii'ly,

Hon. Robert S. Green, 

Chairman of Committee, 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

% Dear Sir : The suggestions embodied in the resolutions 
of the Governors of the thirteen original States, recommending the 
erection, in Philadelphia, of a National Memorial Monument, cer- 
tainly meets my hearty approval. It is eminently proper that such 
a memorial should be erected in the City of Philadelphia, the 
birth-place of National Independence as well as of our Constitution. 
A monument, such as is proposed in the resolutions referred to, 
would be a suggestive memorial of the great events of the first 
century of our National life as well as an inspiration to all fu- 
ture generations of Americans. And I have no doubt the sugges- 
tion will be heartily approved by the people of the United States. 

Yours, very respectfully.

Sir : 

I most heartily 
indorse the resolutions adopted by the assemblage of Governors of 
the thirteen original States of the American Union, at Carpenter's 
Hall in the City of Philadelphia, S8th April, 1888. 

I think that monuments connemorating events are better in- 
structors of youth than monuments to individuals, for the success 
of a cause is never due to a few men, but to the great mass of hum- 
ble citizens, who shield their counti-y with their naked breasts 
without the hope of fame or material reward. 

Very respectfully. 

Your obedient servant.

memorating the First Century of Republican Government in the United States, 
as presented and explained by Col. J. E. Peyton, of New Jersey; and I heartily 
sympathize in the patriotic sentiment which has inspired this enterprise; and 
should Congress authorize the necessary appropriation to carry it into effect, the 
result would be an historical monument of surpassing grandeur and a perpetual 
testimonial of the gratitude of this generation for the wisdom, patriotism and valor 
of the founders of this Republic. 

I am, dear sir, w-ith great respect. 

Very truly yours, 

ALEXANDER H. RICE.

Carlisle, Nicholas County, State of Kentucky, August lo, 1889. 

To His Excellency, Robert S. Green, Governor of the State of Neio Jersey, and 
Chairman of the Committee of Governors of the Thirteen Original States. 

Dear Sir: — The undersigned citizens of Nicholas County, State of Kentucky, 
have read with much pleasure the resolutions passed by the Legislature of the 
State of New Jersey, and those adopted by the Governors of the original Thirteen 
States at a meeting held in the Historic Hall of the Carpenters' Company, in the 
City of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, on the 28th day of April, 1888, and 
approved by the members of Congress representing the original Thirteen States 
in the Session of Congress that closed the First Century of Constitutional Govern- 
ment, as well as by the President of the United States and his Cabinet. 

These resolutions we believe to be in harmony with the sentiments of the 
entire American people. These sentiments are naturally those of Kentuckians, 
whose ancestors, when in the County of Kentucky, were citizens of Virginia, and 
were forced to extinguish the smouldering embers of the Revolutionary struggle 
for independence, and who generously ceded to the people of the United States 
the territory North of the Ohio river, out of which five States have been created, 
now dotted over with populous towns and crowded cities, the prosperous and 
happy homes of millions of people. The people of all the States are united 
under a constitution wisely conceived and skilfully framed, just, wise and benefi- 
cent in its provisions, a guide to the representative, and a protection to the life 
and property of the citizen. No rights or privileges were reserved by the original 
Thirteen States that were not freely bestowed upon the States that have since been 
admitted into the Union. 

The City of Philadelphia being the scene of these events has placed her 
conspicuously in the history of the World. It is evidently the appropriate place 
for the monument to be erected as indicated, and which in due respect to the 
memory of the men who met there and secured for us our independence and form 
of government, that it should be grand, imposing and majestic in character, a fit 
memorial to the men who began and of those who closed the first century of 
Constitutional Government. 

To our fellow-countryman. Col. Jesse E. Peyton, a native of this county, and 
a descendant of one of the early settlers of the State of Kentucky, we tender our 
thanks and sympathies for his services in suggesting, inaugurating and promoting 
the celebrations that have been held to perpetuate the important events in the 



51 



history of our country, and to restore peace and fraternity to our people, and to 
remove all sectional prejudices and incidents of the civil war. 

Resolved that an engrossed copy of this communication to his Excellency, 
the Governor of New Jersey, be forwarded to Col. Peyton, who is now a citizen 
of that State, to be presented to him in person. 

Respectfully submitted.

PLANS FOR THE MEMORIAL MONUMENT. 



No action has been taken by the Committee of Governors 
in regard to any plans for the Monument; — several have been 
offered; — two of which are here presented as worthy of conside- 
ration. One by Col. Jesse E. Peyton, of Haddonfield, N. J., the 
veteran promoter of all patriotic efforts to commemorate the noted 
events of the first century of Constitutional Government in the 
United States, and to whom the people of this country are largely 
indebted for all our Centennial Celebrations. 

Haddonkield, N. J., July yth, iS88. 
J. W. WooDsiDE, Chairman, Etc. 

Dear Sir: — As requested, I herewitii submit my views of a Memorial 
Monument to preserve conspicuously and permanently tbe important events of 
the first century of American Independence under Constitutional Government. — 
Population at that time 3,000,000. 

It should consist of a grand Arch Entrance to Fairniount Park, which has 
been dedicated to the public by the City of Philadelphia, and embraces an 
important location in the history of our country, it being once the home of 
Robert Morris and others prominently identified with the early events in the 
history of our independence. 

The site should be over Belmont Avenue, between where the Main Building 
and Machinery Hall stood when the Centennial Anniversary of the promulgation 
of the Declaration of American Independence was celebrated, in which all nations, 
governments, and provinces participated ; a re-union of the people of all nations, 
without a parallel in the history of the world. The names of the oflicials repre- 
senting each should be indelibly preserved. 

As an impressive fact in history the structure should rest upon thirteen 
arches representing the original thirteen States. Each arch should be thirty feet 
in width, with the height in proportion, except that of Pennsylvania, that being 



56 

the centre should be forty feet. The six Southern States on the left as you enter 
the Park, and the six Northern on the right. Each of the original States should 
furnish the centre stone for the arch, with their Coat of Arms upon it. 

It should be constructed with five columns carried up in connection with 
the masonry to a suitable height for bronze statues. The first should be the statue 
of Thomas Jefferson, holding the Declaration of Independence in his hand ; the 
second, General Washington, with the sword : the next, Robert Morris, with the 
purse ; Madison, with the Constitution, and Alexander Hamilton, with the Treasury. 
At the proper distance above these should be a grand arch worked into the struc- 
ture, embracing all of the States admitted into the Union within the century; the 
Original Thirteen holding their central position. The width or depth of the arch 
should be thirty feet; its extent in length will cover four hundred feet, allowing 
thirty feet to each of the States, and forty to Pennsylvania. There should be 
galleries passing through each arch from one end of it to the other, occupying the 
four hundred feet. It should be arranged for niches to contain bronzed plates 
upon which should be in letters of relief, the History of Important Events of the 
Century, beginning with the First Congress that met in Carpenters' Hall, with the 
building illustrated. Bunker Hill, the names of the officers in command, and the 
number of troops engaged in the struggle. The Declaration of Independence, 
the autographs of the signers. The Battle of Yorktown, the American and French 
officers in command, with the number of troops — French and American — on the 
field. The Convention that framed the Constitution of the United States. President 
Washington, his Cabinet, and the first Congress under tlie Constitution. The date 
of the location of the Capital of the Nation by Congress in session in Philadelphia. 
The date of the abolition of slavery in the United States. The Centennial Com- 
mission and Board of Finance of 1876, with all nations and officials then repre- 
sented. The Governors of the Original Thirteen States present on their respective 
State days, with the number present on each respective day. 

These events that made the result of the first century possible were con- 
ceived and brought forth in the City of Philadelphia. This line of events will end 
with the present administration and the Congress that closed the century, and 
will form a brief and impressive history to the thoughtful world. Population now, 
65,000,000. 

Yours very truly, J. E. PEYTON. 



57 

The following plan is by the eminent architect, Mr. John 
Frazer, of Washington, D. C. : 

J~\ESCRIPTI ON of Memorial Monument to preserve con- 
J-^ spicuously and permanently the important events of the 
First Century of American Independence under Constitutional 
Government. 

The desion submitted as a Centennial Memorial to commemo- 

o 

rate the Adoption of the Constitution of the United States, will 
represent as a memorial, the first century of the American Union, 
and will be composed of two parts, one to represent its primary 
condition, and the other the subsequent additions, the two forming 
a unit. 

Facinof the East, and with its longitudinal axis due North and 
South, will be the main structure, representing the original Thirteen 
States, placed in their geographical order, each State being repre- 
sented by an arch, the centre being the Keystone State, sur- 
mounted by a dome, which will represent the moral and intellectual 
structure of the Union toweringf hiofh above individual States, thus 
representing its supremacy over any of the component parts. 

The two extreme Northern and Southern Arches are also sur- 
mounted by domes representing the special development of the 
two great geographical divisions ; they are in size and design 
subordinate to the great centre dome, but by their weight and 
position in the design, buttress and augment the same, and also 
add to their grandeur by comparison. Both of these domes are 
crowned by the figures of the genii of the respective sections. On 
their corner buttresses there will be sitting allegorical figures 
representing peaceful pursuits, viz: — Agriculture, Horticulture, 
Mining, Commerce, Manufacture, Navigation, Literature and the 
Fine Arts. The buttresses will bear trophies, and near the base 
will be groups of typical aborigines. 

The State arches will rest upon massive piers, which in either 



58 

depth will be ornamented by inscription tablets for the names of 
Governors, other State Officers and distinguished citizens gene- 
rally, together with events in the history of each State. 

Each State arch will have above its entablature the coat of 
arms, supported and flanked by heraldic figures. 

The centre portion of the structure which contains the arch of 
the Keystone State will have, in the broad piers at the base, four 
historical rivers of the original States, represented by groups of 
figures and fountains. 

In the line of the longitudinal axis, all the State arches will be 
connected by openings, thus forming an extended arcade, termi- 
nated at either end by a semi-circular apsis. Where the long and 
short axis of the structure intersect, in its very centre, there will 
be placed a tall monument to commemorate the Centennial Ex- 
hibition of 1876. 

On the main buttress piers of the centre structure there will 
be placed the statues of Thomas Jefferson holding the Declaration 
of Independence in his hands. General Washington with his sword, 
amid trophies of war; Robert Morris with the purse; Madison 
with the Constitution, and Alexander Hamilton representing the 
Treasury. 

A sufficient number of bronze tablets are provided in the State 
arches for inscribing the history of important events of the cen- 
tury beginning with the First Congress that met in Carpenters' 
Hall, Philadelphia, with the building illustrated ; Bunker Hill, the 
names of the officers in command and the number of troops en- 
gaged in the struggle; the Declaration of Independence, the auto- 
graphs of the signers ; the Battle of Yorktown, the American and 
French Officers in command, with the number of troops, French 
and American, on the field ; the Convention that framed the Con- 
stitution of the United States; President Washington, his Cabinet, 
and the first Congress under the Constitution. 

The date of the admission of each State into the Union, with 







E3 B

c 







59 

its first Governor and tlie present Governor that closed the cen- 
tury: the date of the AboHtion of Slavery in the United States; 
the Centennial Celebration of 1876, all Governments and Provinces 
present and participated, with the name of the official of each. 

The Governors of the original Thirteen States present in 
respect to the memory of the Signers of the Declaration of In- 
dependence from their respective States, with the number present 
each day. The Administration and Congress that closed the cen- 
tury. The date at the time Washington was selected as the site 
for the Capital of the United States, which was done by Congress 
in session at Philadelphia. These events all had their conception 
and bird) in the city of Philadelphia, and belonged to the century, 
and make Philadelphia the appropriate place for such a memorial 
as has been designed. Its value to the public it is thought would 
be beyond that of any library now in existence. 

The central dome will be buttressed by eight couples of columns, 
carrying pedestals and figures of as many groups of Militiamen, 
Sailors, etc., as may be suggested hereafter. On the terminal 
points of these buttress piles will be four allegorical figures repre- 
senting Political Liberty, Religious Liberty, Justice and Equality. 

The crowning dome will be surmounted by a colossal figure of 
Columbia as a supreme culmination of the structure. 

Towards the west, and near this structure will be a monument 
of moderate size — the District of Columbia represented by a sit- 
ting figure ; in front of the ])edestal, facing west, there will be a 
rostrum from which the multitude fiUine the court, hereafter de- 
scribed, may be addressed. 

The court will have the shape of a semi-circle, ot which the 
base is formed by the structure for the original Thirteen States ; 
the arc is formed by a continuous series of twenty-five niches, 
representing so many States and Territories, and placed in the 
order of their admission, and grouped as Northern and Southern 
States ; from the end original States. 



60 

The States and Territories to have Coats of Arms, Inscription 
Tablets, etc. A wide concentric walk connect the whole. 

Thus the Union is represented by a uniform and harmonious 
structure. First complete in itself but, passing the period of its 
infancy, gradually enlarging until the end of the cycle of a hundred 
years, an arch is formed resting on a basis of the original struc- 
ture, and all crowned by the great iabric reared by our forefathers 
and preserved and purihed by the great men of the generation 
just passing away. 

In the centre of the Grand Court it is designed to erect a 
suitable fire-proof building for the safe keeping and preserva- 
tion of the original of the Constitution, and for Reception Rooms, 
Offices, etc.
